Those of you who deadlift semi supinated, do you ever alternate your grip? (lemmy.world)

You might semi supinate your deadlift grip (one hand over, one under) for comfort & endurance at heavier weights. I believe some competitions even mandate this for safety reasons.

Those of you who semi grip, do you ever alternate? If so, have you identified any benefits in doing so?

A friend brought this up with me a couple months ago. It was a reasonable ask, and yet I've never thought to switch hands. I try to only use a semi grip when necessary (heavier sets, fewer reps).

I've recently started experimenting with switching it around for a few higher volume sets. Is there any benefit from switching long term, or session to session?

I alternate every set. Although if I'm going for 1 rep-max I always do dominate hand (right) over and non-dominant under. It just feels stronger that way.

Can fully understand the 1rm scenario. Interesting to hear you alternate between sets. Thanks for sharing
